In real-time problems, the possibilities of having a precise mathematical model describing the dynamics of the nonlinear system are scarce. Besides, the measurements invariably are tainted with noise which makes the problem of estimating the actual states of the system more difficult. The most common way of solving this issue involves the application of the Kalman Filter (KF) or the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), for linear and nonlinear systems, respectively; although in both cases, the estimation heavily relies on linear techniques. In a different way, the James-Stein Filter provides a robust approach to estimate linear and nonlinear systems under parametric uncertainties of the mathematical model. In this brief note, a slightly different James-Stein State Estimator (JSSE), named Modified James-Stein State Estimator (JSSE-M), is presented as an alternative to filtering the states of nonlinear systems within a control scheme. The main contribution of this paper is the comparison of performance between KF, EKF, JSSE, and JSSE-M when they are used on a relatively complex nonlinear system which is extremely dependent on its parameters, namely the quadrotor. In this sense, some interesting comparisons focused on both, the effectiveness and processing time are provided.
